Van Rooy Strategies
Helping nonprofits make more good things happen
What I do
I set up Van Rooy Strategies as a strategic planning service for nonprofit organizations. I support community groups, non-governmental organizations, civil society organizations, university teams, and research institutes seeking to make the world a better place.
Why I do it
After three decades in international policy planning, working with and writing about civil society organizations, I am committed to helping more nonprofits do more good work. Strategic planning is one step in getting that work done.
All organizations can benefit from support in bringing people to the table, generating analysis, drawing up a plan, and adjusting to real-life changes along the way. For nonprofits, the task can be particularly challenging. Strategic planning must take into account multiple impact outcomes, varied partnerships and stakeholders, and often fragile funding sources. While challenging, planning is nonetheless crucial: it helps nonprofits make more meaningful social, economic, and environmental change happen in their communities and in the world.
That’s my purpose, too.
